CartoonBrew: ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem’ Reviews Roundup: This Franchise Reboot Is A Knockout
I saw it. Overall I liked it. I've been a turtles fan my entire life. It felt like a bunch of turtles fans said let's make the turtles and lets make them 2023. Of course they changed some stuff but I can't really clutch my pearls because it's very clear they love the franchise.
Overall loved the animation, soundtrack, and Ice Cube. I laughed quite a bit in the theater watching this. Solid 7/10 movie and I can see a lot of kids thinking these turtles are as cool as I thought the 80's turtles were.
I'm not a fan of the Turtles but I do like them. I went to see this because my youngest had obviously got wind of it on YouTube and something about it grabbed him.
For a bit of perspective, I enjoyed the 90s cartoon, the first live action film (I love the animatronics) and the CGI film TMNT.
Mutant Mayhem was a brilliant film, even if your not a die hard fan. I love the colourful art style as well which was so fresh and different from anything else. It's probably going to be a 4K release for me, that art needs to be appreciated.
The story went in a direction I wasn't expecting and I loved Jackie Chan as Splinter. His fight scene involving an office chair was very Chan in style.
Of course there's a mid credit tease and considering they were a character I was expecting to see all through the film, I hope we get a sequel.
EDIT: I've expanded my thoughts into a full review.
Oh, Roganized TMNTs & Co., it's time to return to the sewers. Time to unpin you but it's been a gas! Ciao!
Eagerly awaiting the early showing on 7/31. This looks like a blast and seeing so many positive reviews already is awesome.
Just back from seeing it and thought it was excellent. Super entertaining, and really dig the art style.
